Château La Fleur Perey

Bordeaux

Made in the manner as a grand cru, this very small plot produces a subtle and refined Bordeaux wine. Incredibly complex and expressive, a sign of great wines, the wine is round, with beautiful tannins and very concentrated fruit. There are notes of raspberries, blackberry jam complemented by a hint of violets and spices such as vanilla and liquorice. Such a delicious wine!
